Third-party modules/modems

Standards qualification and regulatory approval can be difficult and costly to navigate and complete.
Why not let someone else do the work for you?
A range of module suppliers offer qualified and certified modules/modems based on Nordic Semiconductor technology.

To get a Bluetooth or other wireless product on the market, there are a range of qualifications and approvals you will need to meet to prove that the product meets wireless standards.

This qualification involves both testing and paperwork, which can be relatively complex and costly for those unfamiliar with the process.
Approvals under wireless and tele regulatory standards cannot be obtained on IC's alone, they can only be acquired for complete products or sub-systems/modules/modems.

Today, many of the world’s best-known module manufacturers offer modules/modems based on Nordic technology.
These modules/modems are available with the necessary external circuitry and are either partly or fully qualified (with/without integrated antenna) towards relevant wireless standards.

Your options
The products presented on this page are from 3rd party companies using Nordic IC technology, and so must be purchased through the sales networks of these companies.
Please use the external links provided to find more information on features, MoQ, sales channels and pricing.

Cellular
Since chip-down designs are complex and heavy on certification effort in cellular, Nordic provides a preapproved module. The current list of certifications achieved for the nRF9160 can be found here. To further simplify integration into a product, some 3rd parties offer cellular “modems” that are assemblies that are preapproved as end-products. They can be found in a list below.

1 - System on Modules

These modules are based on System-on-Chip (SoC) ICs from Nordic Semiconductor's nRF51, nRF52 or nRF53-Series.
Just like on the SoC ICs these modules offer you code space for your application as well as access to the ARM® Cortex™ M0, M4 or M33 processor and peripherals of the device used. 

By using these modules you can leverage all the strengths of Nordic's SoC Hardware and Software architecture and make a 'single module product' without the need for an additional microcontroller to run your application.

Similar in concept to traditional RF modules, these modules act as pure modems handling the wireless communcation and offer your application control and communication through a pre defined serial interface. These modules add a wireless interface for your new or existing application, but will require you to include module-specific software libraries to your code base.
